Currently, Drupal core is all procedural, and for a reason. Please see:

   Drupal Programming from an Object-Oriented Perspective
   http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/file/developer/topics/oop.html

Which isn't to say that you *can't* use OOP (the awesome views.module 
does so) if absolutely necessary, but I think it's fairly safe to say, 
contribution-or-not, procedural is preferred.
